Derate is IMMINENT while OVERSIZE half mile from delivery!!!

Welcome to another video of my crazy life and the never-ending battle and the constant struggles of being an Owner Operator in 2024. I swear it has got to take a turn for the better at some point, right?
Thankfully, and by the Grace of God, I had the part on the truck to fix the issue and after two payments of $135, one to read the code, and the second to clear to the code, I was able to get fixed and make on-time delivery!
The ambient air temperature sensor wasn't hard to install or get out at all. It's one of those sensors that you should keep on the truck at all times since it's the first line of defense in your battle with the DPF system since the EGR hits it first with the exhaust gases.
Also, in response to this issue, I ordered my own computer with the appropriate software on it so I can diagnose these codes in the future without having to pay someone else. Not to mention, you might be somewhere there isn't a shop and could get yourself into a real pickle. It's a tool of necessity these days!
Granted, a new truck with only 100k miles on it shouldn't be breaking down in the first place! Especially, with how damn expensive the Blue Badger was!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope this video helps you guys out.

    Thank you for the kudos! My wife tells me all the time that I’m a pack rat but reasons like this is why I keep everything lol. You never know when you’re going to need something to bail you out of a jam. This time I got super lucky!

    I got 104k out of it. I think I’ll start changing it out every 100k when I do the services on the trans and diffs.

    @@timothyfoley3000 you couldn’t be anymore correct. I ordered two the other day. I also plan on ordering the EGR sensors to have on hand as well.
